The idea for “Fore Our Youth” started with a group friends, some nachos and a beer 🍺!!
, Coleman Rockwell, and wanted to make a difference when it came to youth sports.... “Fore Our Youth” is a non for profit who’s mission is to provide opportunity. The book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell claims there are certain factors that contribute to success. Family, Friends, Culture, Community, Time (The “10,000 Hour Rule” is a common theme within the book), and Financial Status are all key contributors to whether or not someone has the capability of being successful.
So how does Fore Our Youth fit in? As I mentioned, our goal is to provide opportunity. Unfortunately, we cannot control all of those factors but we can help with some. Friends, Community, Time, and Finances is where we aim to help the youth of Billings.
We don’t want thoughts and/or conversations around finances, talent, or the lack of support amongst peers to squander those dreams. Where most people look and say “let’s be realistic” we say “why not!” Now don’t get me wrong, the conversation is very real regarding the amount of work and sacrifice that will be needed but if they have the desire and determination to achieve those goals, we are there to provide them with the training, finances, and the support system so when they get their chance they are ready!
